In 1925, after the end of the seven-year school, Arseny went to Moscow and entered the highest literary courses, which graduated from 1929.
Literature
From the late 1920s, Tarkovsky writes articles for the newspaper "Bead" and poetic feuillems to the "Floodlight" magazine. In 1933, he begins to engage in translation activities, in the year the first books of translations are published.
In 1940, at a meeting of the Presidium of the Union of Soviet writers, Mark Tarlovsky proposed to include Tarkovsky to the Union for the translations of the Kyrgyz and Turkmen poetry, Georgian folk songs. The decision was made positive.
The beginning of the war took arts in Moscow: he sent her first wife and children to evacuation to the Ivanovo region, the second - to the city of Chistopol. At the end of October 1941, he himself will go to Tatarstan, where he creates a cycle of poems "Chistopol Notebook". In parallel, he writes to the Presidium of the Union of Writers of the request to take on the front. From January 1942 he is credited to the post of writer army newspaper "Combat alarm".

The book "Stars above Aragatz" became the last lifetime publishing. A total of 12 collections of verses of Tarkovsky and 1 three-volume collected works were released. The work of Arseny occupies a kind of place in Russian poetry. He managed to convey to the reader in the face of a rigid aesthetic dictatorship of the tradition of the Silver Age, giving them an individual modern shade.
In March 1982, Andrei's son went to Italy to shoot the film "Nostalgia". A few months later, at a press conference in Milan, he stated that he did not plan to return to the USSR. The Tarkovsky-senior adopted his civil position, but in the letters an opinion was expressed that "the Russian artist should live and work in his homeland."
The death of the Son in 1986 became a strong blow to Aleksandrovich's arseny. His state of his health from the moment began to deteriorate sharply.

The first youthful love of the poet consider Maria Gustavovna Falz - it was she who was devoted to the poem "First Date." A woman is a widow of the officer, lived in Elisavetgrad, was significantly older Tarkovsky. Maria Gustavovna was a muse for arsion, he wrote poems throughout his life.

In 1937, the father of two children leaves the family to Antonine Aleksandrovna Bochonov. Officially divorce and new marriage was registered only in 1940. Biographers for the reasons of the first marriage see a banal cause: children. They demanded time, attention, care. A poet for creativity needed love, silence and peace.
In addition, the son Andrei recalled that the mother was a "nihylist in everyday life": there were no curtains on the windows in the house. A woman was more important spiritual life. Apparently, the Tarkovsky-senior wanted calm and homely atmosphere.
The second wife of Tarkovsky in the literal sense of the word owes life. It was she removed him from the front to the capital and achieved the reasomeration of the wounded leg from the famous professor Vishnevsky. There were no general children in marriage, the daughter of Antonina's stepfather did not love. Friends of the Arseniy remember that Bochonov was kind, beautiful and soft. And Tarkovsky needed a powerful woman who could send a creative soul to work.
In 1947, the poet leaves Antonina, but the divorce declares only in December 1950. On January 26, 1951, he again marries Tatiana Alekseevna Ozerskaya. A woman, according to Soviet standards, was a man secured, earned the translation of popular novels from English. For example, her version of the "worn wind" Margaret Mitchell had a huge success.
